<p>The Browser preferences panel allows you to customize certain aspects of
  the browser.</p>

<ul>
  <li><strong>Display on</strong>: Use the drop-down list in combination with
    the checkboxes to control what will be displayed at startup or when you
    open a new window or tab:
    <ol>
      <li>
        <ul>
          <li>Select <strong>Browser Startup</strong> to set what the browser
            will display at startup.</li>
          <li>Select <strong>New Window</strong> to set what will be displayed
            when opening a new browser window.</li>
          <li>Select <strong>New Tab</strong> to set what will be displayed
            when opening a new tab.</li>
        </ul>
      </li>
      <li>Select one of the following checkboxes:
        <ul>
          <li><strong>Blank page</strong>: Causes the browser to display a blank
            page.</li>
          <li><strong>Home page</strong>: Causes the browser to load your home
            page (specified below).</li>
          <li><strong>Last page visited</strong>: Causes the browser to load the
            page you were viewing right before you last exited
            &brandShortName;.</li>
          <li><strong>Restore Previous Session</strong>: Causes the browser to
            restore the windows and tabs you were viewing right before you last
            exited &brandShortName;, including form data and browsing
            history. This option is only available in connection with
            <strong>Display on Browser Startup</strong>.</li>
        </ul>
      </li>
    </ol>
  </li>

    </ul>
  </li>
  <li><strong>When restoring sessions and windows</strong>: Choose how many
    (if any) browser tabs should be restored at a time upon startup.
    <ul>
      <li><strong>Restore all tabs immediately</strong>: All the tabs you had
        open the last time will be restored and loaded at once. This can affect
        startup performance negatively if a large amount of tabs needs to be
        restored in parallel.</li>
      <li><strong>Restore [__] tab(s) at a time</strong>: If you choose this,
        only the specified amount of tabs will be restored at a time. If you
        had more tabs open than specified here, any extra tabs will only be
        loaded once the loading of one of the other tabs has finished.</li>
      <li><strong>Only restore tabs when I need them</strong>: This disables
        automatic restoring of tabs, i.e. tabs will only be loaded if you
        switch to or reload them.</li>
    </ul>
  </li>
  <li>Home button preferences: In the field, type the web page you want as
    your home page or do one of the following:
    <ul>
      <li><strong>Choose File</strong>: Click this to locate a file on disk
        that you want to load as your home page.</li>
      <li><strong>Use Current Page</strong>: Click this to use the web page
        currently displayed in the browser as your home page.</li>
      <li><strong>Use Current Group</strong>: If you have two or more browser
        tabs open, click this to set them as your Home Page Group (a group of
        tabs that are opened as your home page). After clicking this button,
        the message <q>Home Page Group is Set</q> appears in the location
        field.

        <p><strong>Caution</strong>: If you edit the field after clicking Use
          Current Group, your Home Page Group will be lost.</p>

      </li>
      <li><strong>Restore Default</strong>: Click this to revert to the
        default home page.</li>

<h2 id="helper_applications">Browser Preferences - Helper Applications</h2>

<p>This section describes how to use the Helper Applications preferences panel.
  If you&apos;re not already viewing it, follow these steps:</p>

<ol>
  <li>Open the <span class="mac">&brandShortName;</span>
    <span class="noMac">Edit</span> menu and choose Preferences.</li>
  <li>Under the Browser category, click Helper Applications. (If no
    subcategories are visible, double-click Browser to expand the list.)</li>
</ol>

<p>The Helper Applications preferences panel lets you choose applications and
  other handlers to handle different types of content (e.g. PDF documents).
  It shows you a list of content types and lets you select a handler for each
  type. To filter the list, use the search field. Text entered in there will
  narrow the list to entries containing that text either in the type description
  or the currently selected action.</p>
<p>You can choose a local application to handle any type. For some types, you
  can also choose a <a href="glossary.xhtml#web_application">web application</a>
  to handle the type, choose a <a href="glossary.xhtml#plugin">plugin</a> in
  &brandShortName; to handle the type, or save the type on your computer.</p>
<p>To choose a handler for a type, select the type from the list. The current
  handler for the type will turn into a menu. Open the menu and select the
  handler you want to handle the type. Depending on the actual type, you can:</p>

<ul>
  <li>Choose an application by selecting it from the menu. If you want a local
    application that is not in the menu to handle the type, select
    <strong>Use other...</strong> from the menu and navigate to its location.</li>
  <li>Choose a <!-- feature or --> plugin by selecting it from the menu.</li>
  <li>Save files of this type on your computer by selecting
    <strong>Save File</strong> from the menu. If you have selected the
    <strong>Automatically download files to specified download folder</strong>
    preference in the <strong>Downloads</strong> panel, &brandShortName; will
    save content of this type on your computer automatically. Otherwise, when
    you encounter this type, &brandShortName; will prompt you for a location on
    your computer to save it to.</li>
  <li>Tell &brandShortName; to <strong>always ask</strong> what to do when
    encountering this type. When you choose this option, a dialog will always be
    shown when files of this type are accessed, and you can choose how to handle
    that specific file from there.</li>
</ul>

<p><strong>Note:</strong> When a plugin is available to handle a type, and you
  choose another handler for that type, &brandShortName; will only use your
  chosen handler when you access the type directly. When the type is embedded
  inside a web page, &brandShortName; will continue to use the plugin to handle
  it. See also
  <a href="nav_help.xhtml#plugins_and_downloads">Plugins and Downloads</a>.

<ul>
  <li id="location_bar_autocomplete"><strong>Autocomplete</strong>:
    <ul>
      <li><strong>Autocomplete from your browsing history as you type</strong>:
        Select this to let &brandShortName; automatically show suggestions from
        your browsing history when you type in the Location Bar.
        <ul>
          <li><strong>Match only websites you&apos;ve typed previously</strong>:
            Shows only websites that you&apos;ve typed in the Location Bar and
            not websites that were opened in other ways, such as clicking a link
            on a web page.</li>
          <li><strong>Only match locations, not website titles</strong>: Shows
            only websites where the location matches what you typed. Websites
            where the title matches what you typed will not show up as
            autocomplete suggestions unless their location matches, too.</li>
          <li><strong>Match</strong>:
            <ul>
              <li><strong>Anywhere in the location or title</strong>: The

                title.</li>
              <li><strong>Anywhere but preferring word boundaries</strong>: The
                autocomplete suggestions will include all websites where what
                you typed matches any part of the website&apos;s location or
                title but matches at word boundaries (see next point) are
                preferred. This is the default setting.</li>
              <li><strong>Only on word boundaries</strong>: The autocomplete
                suggestions will include all websites where what you typed
                matches the beginning of any word contained in the
                website&apos;s location or title. Matches may also be found
                inside a word if it contains medial capital letters (as in
                CamelCase) since all non-lowercase characters are treated as
                word boundaries.</li>
              <li><strong>Only at the beginning of the location or
                title</strong>: The autocomplete suggestions will include all
                websites where what you typed matches the beginning of the
                website&apos;s location or title.</li>
            </ul></li>
          <li><strong>Automatically prefill the best match</strong>: As you
            type in the Location Bar, &brandShortName; will automatically
            complete your web address using the visited website it most closely
            matches. <span class="unix"><strong>Note</strong>: Having this
            option on will prefill local addresses (like paths to files on your
            hard drive) even if you have turned off <q>Autocomplete from your
            browsing history as you type</q>.</span></li>
          <li><strong>Show list of matching results</strong>: As you type in
            the Location Bar, &brandShortName; will show a drop-down list of
            matching visited web addresses.
            <span class="unix"><strong>Note</strong>: If you have turned off
            <q>Autocomplete from your browsing history as you type</q>
            matching results from locations on your hard drive will still be
            shown in the drop-down list.</span></li>

    </ul>
  </li>
  <li><strong>Formatting</strong>:
    <ul>
      <li><strong>Highlight the effective domain for websites and FTP
        servers</strong>: Grays out all of the URL except for the effective

  <li>Under the Browser category, click Link Behavior. (If no subcategories
    are visible, double-click Browser to expand the list.)</li>
</ol>

<p>The Link Behavior preferences panel allows you to configure how links are
  opened in &brandShortName;:</p>

<ul>
  <li><strong>Link open behavior</strong>: If a webpage is designed so that
    certain links open in a new window by default, you may want to override
    this. You can define the behavior separately for links with a target
    attribute and windows opened using JavaScript:
    <ul>
      <li><strong>Open links meant to open a new window in</strong>:
        <ul>
          <li><strong>The current tab/window</strong>: Open the linked page in
            the current tab of the active window.</li>
          <li><strong>A new tab in the current window</strong>: Open the linked
            page in a new tab instead of a new window.</li>
          <li><strong>A new window</strong>: Open the linked page in a new
            window. (This does not override the webpage design and disables
            the below options for pages opened from scripts.)</li>
        </ul>
      </li>
      <li><strong>When scripts want to open a new window</strong>:
        <ul>
          <li><strong>Always divert windows into tabs</strong>: Open the page to
            be loaded in a tab according to the above settings.</li>
          <li><strong>Don&apos;t divert custom windows into tabs</strong>: Open
            the page to be loaded in a popup window if the script explicitly
            specifies features of the new window (such as size or position),
            else open the page in a tab according to the above settings.</li>
          <li><strong>Always open new windows</strong>: Open the page to be
            loaded in a new window. (This does not override the webpage
            design.)</li>
        </ul>
      </li>
    </ul>
  </li>
  <li><strong>Links from other applications</strong>: If &brandShortName; is
    called from another application with a webpage address as an argument (like
    a click on a link in an external email program), you can control where the
    page will be loaded:
    <ul>
      <li><strong>The current tab/window</strong>: Open the linked page in the
        current tab of the active window.</li>
      <li><strong>A new tab in the current window</strong>: Open the linked
        page in a new tab instead of a new window.</li>
      <li><strong>A new window</strong>: Open the linked page in a new
        window.</li>
    </ul>
  </li>
</ul>

<div class="win">
  <p>To ensure that &brandShortName; opens a new window, select the Browser
    option in <a href="cs_nav_prefs_appearance.xhtml#appearance">Appearance
    Preferences - Appearance</a>.</p>

  <p>If you want &brandShortName; to open a new tab instead of a new window when
    you launch it and it is already running, ensure the following:</p>

  <ul>
    <li>If &brandShortName; is launched from the command line, no command line
      parameters that open windows (like <kbd>-new-window</kbd>) are used.</li>
    <li>No <q>When &brandShortName; starts up, open</q> option is set in
      <a href="cs_nav_prefs_appearance.xhtml#appearance">Appearance Preferences
      - Appearance</a>.</li>
    <li>The <q>Links from other applications</q> preference is set to <q>A new
      tab in the current window</q>.</li>
  </ul>
</div>

<h2 id="downloads">Browser Preferences - Downloads</h2>

<p>This section describes how to use the Downloads preferences panel. If
  you&apos;re not already viewing it, follow these steps:</p>

<ol>
  <li>Open the <span class="mac">&brandShortName;</span>

    <ul>
      <li><strong>Flash the download manager if it is already open</strong>:
        Select this to change focus to the Download Manager if it is currently
        open. It displays the status for current and previous downloads in a
        single window. This option only takes effect if the Download Manager
        is already open and overrides the other settings.</li>
      <li><strong>Open the download manager</strong>: Select this to display
        the Download Manager when starting a new download. It will be opened

        progress dialog box, which display the status for your current
        download. The status of each download is kept in a separate
        window.</li>
      <li><strong>Don&apos;t open anything</strong>: Select this if you want to
        download files invisibly. No status is given for all your
        downloads.</li>
    </ul>
  </li>
</ul>

<ul>
  <li><strong>When saving a file</strong>:
    <ul>
      <li><strong>Save files to</strong>: Select this if you want files to be
        saved to the specified folder without &brandShortName; prompting you
        for the download location.</li>
      <li><strong>Always ask me where to save files</strong>: Select this if
        you always want to be able to choose a folder for the file to be saved.
        The default will be the folder you last downloaded a file to.</li>
    </ul>
  </li>
</ul>

<ul>
  <li><strong>Download history</strong>:
    <ul>
      <li><strong>Remove download entries</strong>: This determines when
        a completed entry is removed from the Download Manager listing
        (the downloaded file itself will <em>not</em> be affected):
        <ul>
          <li><strong>When they have completed</strong>: Select this to
            remove an entry immediately once the download is successfully
            completed.</li>
          <li><strong>When quitting &brandShortName;</strong>: Select this
            to retain all entries until closing the program, the list will
            be empty upon restarting &brandShortName;.</li>
          <li><strong>Never</strong>: Select this to not remove <em>any</em>
            entry automatically, even after &brandShortName; is restarted.
            You can remove them manually in the Download Manager.</li>
        </ul>
      </li>
    </ul>
  </li>
</ul>

<ul>
  <li><strong>When a download completes</strong>:
    <ul>
      <li><strong>Play a sound</strong>: Select this if you want
        &brandShortName; to play a custom sound (typically in WAV format) when
        a download is completed. Use the Browse button to select the sound file
        in the file locator. To listen to the sound you&apos;ve chosen, click
        Play.</li>
      <li><strong>Show an alert</strong>: Select this if you want
        &brandShortName; to show an alert on the screen when a download is
        completed.</li>
    </ul>
  </li>
</ul>
